Each of those modules has a bunch of cooresponding information -- perfect opportunity for a table. Consider the following (in my actual example, there are some 35 products and a lot more items of information...I've only shown two products for obvious reasons.) [code] <table> <caption>Stuff about Products</caption> <thead> <tr> <th>Module</th> <th>Min Speed</th> <th>Max Speed</th> <th>Integration w/ other products?</th> <th>Minimum RAM requirement</th> <th>Cost</th> <th>Package Discount</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Module 1</td> <td>20 transactions/second</td> <td>250 transctions/second</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>128MB</td> <td>$.03/transaction</td> <td>$1200/month</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Module 2</td> <td>20 transactions/second</td> <td>250 transctions/second</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>128MB</td> <td>$.03/transaction</td> <td>$1200/month</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Module 3</td> <td>20 transactions/second</td> <td>250 transctions/second</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>128MB</td> <td>$.03/transaction</td> <td>$1200/month</td> </tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr> <td>Module 1</td> <td>20 transactions/second</td> <td>250 transctions/second</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>128MB</td> <td>$.03/transaction</td> <td>$1200/month</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Module 2</td> <td>20 transactions/second</td> <td>250 transctions/second</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>128MB</td> <td>$.03/transaction</td> <td>$1200/month</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> [/code] In this mockup here, I've given each product its own <tbody>. I'm not sure if this is totaly correct or not. That's part of what I want to discuss. Also, what is the best/most appropriate way to demonstrate that each <tbody> represents a separate product AND give that a label? I can't put <caption>s in each <tbody>. I can't use <h*> within each the <table>. What's a guy to do? Is this an appropriate use of <tbody>? How does one label each <tbody>? Loading...
